I have my discus in my planted tank. Everywhere I read says that they love live pants and driftwood (2 anubis, 1 sprite, one java fern, big piece of drift wood, and a bunch of moss). And everyone recomends frequent water changes (im doing weekly 25% RO water changes) but the only thing that has me kinda turned off, is that Im doing the DIY CO2 injection system. With weekly 25% water changes, am I going to see a drop in plant life? I dont have a ton of light, (just a little over 1 wpg) and I have flourish substrate. also, is CO2 going to hurt my discus? thats one thing that I didnt see anywhere mentions on any site.
